One bright spring morning in the woods of France, a soldier, blinded by the war, is found by a little girl named Coco, and her older sister Marcelle. In return for their kindness, the soldier tells the sisters marvellous tales, each story connected to the keepsake he carries in his pocket- a perfect, tiny silver donkey.

As the days pass and they struggle in secret to help the soldier reach home, Coco and Marcelle learn the truth behind the silver donkey, and what the precious object means- honesty, loyalty, and courage.

This is a joyful and enchanting novel for all ages.

Gostei muito do livro. Li com meu aluno (11 anos) e conseguimos ter ótimas discussões sobre os efeitos da guerra nas pessoas que conseguem voltar vivos e naquelas que não vão ao fronte.
